Hi all,
Just sharing details of a pilot scheme for sexual health testing at home via post.
I’ve tried it just recently and it’s really handy. More details at the link below

I think the pilot scheme was early in the first lockdown, and it's now permanent. Very good service and usually very quick back with the results. Word of advice, though. Fill the blood thing up to the top if you can. First time I did it, I went to the top line and they said it wasn't enough. |

Did you feel a little prick when you did it ?  |

Have to agree, I was told about them by another fabber when I first joined and they are a brilliant service. Always have a test ready to go in the kitchen draw  |

"It’s a brilliant service, so much better than turning up to clinic, taking a ticket and waiting around for hours  "
And potentially bumping into people you know! I bumped into an ex partner while waiting in line   |

I had to use all three lances on one finger to get it to the second line, I was spinning my arm like a loon to get it done. |

Fantastic service, quick delivery and only a couple of days wait for results. In the sexual health clinic they won't give you results unless you have something so you spend a month worrying. |

"Wish there was a section on our profiles for test results. It's so important to stay safe. Frisky is an amazing service. "
Couldn't agree more, would be amazing to show that you/we certain swingers take sexual health seriously and can prove it. |

I do wish people would test regularly as standard. Sadly a lot of people on the scene assume that just because they use condoms then they don’t need to test. You absolutely do need to test, condom or not! It’s very naive and misinformed to assume you can’t pick anything up orally! |

If you prick the side of your finger like they recommend you don't. I find the finger pad works a lot better |

Warm hands help too. Did mine directly after washing dishes.
It’s a great service, I had my results via text within 48 hours. |

I missed the warm hands bit on the first two attempts lol. Luckily seen it before I tried for a third as I was no where near the line.
And boom bloody was flowing too much haha
Deffo a great service! HRH informed me of it and so much less trouble then a Gum clinic.
I think a track and trace style system for it on here would be great lol |
